I use this thing for everything!

Looks like one of your walls fell off of your outhouse!

I used mine yesterday to haul an outdoor wooden swing into the garage so I could refinish it.

Not exactly "taxing", but it was more than I could carry by myself.

Love those forks.

Evidently, multitasking is hard.

The quality of your loader is superb, it always impresses me when you post your machines.

Thank you! If I was doing it again, I would stick with my original plan of building the cylinders with 50 mm bore instead of 60 mm. I don't need the ridiculous amount of lifting capacity this thing has but could use a little bit more speed.

I'm in complete agreement, part of the reason I bought my BB 4035H (3515H) was to save what's left of my back. It doesn't take much to throw it out if I get in the wrong position or overextended.

Still working on my shed. I think I'm going to start calling it a barn from now on. That's a triple 2x10 header the Branson made easy to install.

Using my dad's old spreader to haul in some rotted horse manure. I'm just putting it on a pile for now. Will eventually get transferred to the garden.

Just curious how you're going to get it to "pile" instead of "spread"?

That's a nice pic though.

That is sort of difficult. This spreader actually does a good job of spreading. I ran it about half speed. After 5 loads I used the bucket to push it into a better pile. Id love to just have a spreader without the beaters. It could double as a firewood hauler.
My neighbor has another dozen loads if someone wants it!

Haven't even used the mower yet, got it assembled and the gear box filled and half the grease fittings lubed some are not taking grease.
Brand new chinneee fitting, I'll pull some of them and replace them to see what happens.

Lou, I wanted to mention that you may want to check the set screws on the roller collars. I just noticed today that I have lost 3 of 4 set screws on mine. I am going to add a little blue lock tight to them when I replace.

Nice catch. On any project I make that uses pillow blocks, those things always fly out in a matter of a couple minutes. I just build the thing in a way that I don't have to rely on those set screws.

I hadn't noticed that but the nylocks that secured the roller brackets actual loosened I noticed it and said well I've got just a little bit to do then I'll take care of it. Not my best idea two swatches later the rear roller fell off on one side and pulled the shaft off the other end. Took some work to clean the accumulated grass off the shaft and get the bearing back on the roller and the brackets and roller back on. Ended up removing the pillow blocks mounting the brackets putting the pillow blocks back on the stub shafts and then hanging the bearings and roller back up as a unit.

Fall is in the air so I figured time to get some projects done . First one is moving a free standing platform to a better location. At first we were going to disassemble the stand but way to much work !! So without my wife’s approval ha ha and an excited daughter we set out to prove we could do it . Turned out perfect Sorry if they are sideways. Can’t figure out how to correct them .

Second project is working on my swamp of a back yard at the cabin . Wife wanted some block around her bird feeder . Turned out good. Next is trying to get some grass to grow . Lots of weed and feed next two or three years
